Which comes first, the toner or the moisturiser? And when do I apply my eye crème?
All good questions. The right sequence is important because each step thoroughly prepares your skin for what comes next. If you follow the recommended sequence, every formula in your twice-daily regiment will perform optimally, providing you with the healthy looking, glowing complexion you deserve.
1. Cleanse your face and neck, twice, with your ARTISTRY cleanser.
Why? Double cleansing insures that you whisk away every trace of dirt and makeup, leaving your skin fresh and free of debris.
2. Tone your face and neck with a cotton pad that has been saturated with your selected toning formula.
Why? This step removes all remaining traces of cleanser. It also restores your skin to a normal and balanced pH level, making it receptive to the next important step.
3. Treat your skin with the products selected for your particular needs. Target fine lines, discolouration, loss of elasticity, blemishes or uneven skin tone in this all-important step.
Why? Light-as-a-feather ARTISTRY products are best absorbed by clean, balanced skin. Apply them sparingly to face and neck; they won't feel heavy or greasy.
4. Pamper the eyes. Using the tip of your ring finger, dab eye crème under each eye and around the outer corners.
Why? The delicate skin in this area requires a richer moisturizing formula than the rest of the face, and a very gentle touch.
5. Final step. moisturise and protect your skin with a moisturiser containing sun protection to halt moisture loss and damage from dry external conditions and UV rays.
Why? ARTISTRY moisturisers are designed to provide just the right amount of hydration whether your skin is dry or oily. Many contain specially-formulated complexes which enhance the effects of ARTISTRY products and have all been tested on sensitive skin. However, if sensitivities still exist, a formula without SPF is offered.
Once or twice a week:
Indulge yourself with a relaxing facial masque. Remove your makeup, cleanse your skin, slather on one of the technologically-advanced
ARTISTRY masques and put your feet up. You'll benefit from an extra boost of skin-enhancing action, whether you need deep
cleansing or super moisturizing. After 20 minutes, remove the masque, cleanse once more, and proceed to tone, treat and moisturise.
